If you’ve got $250k in college debt and are working a job that pays $80k a year there’s no way you’re getting a house, a decent car, and raising screamy potatoes. I make a decent salary but man I’m concerned as hell about finances, because the mortgage, house repairs, and general cost of everything is eating me alive.max225 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2024 10:48 am If one doesn’t “oversimplify” you get nothing done and write 10000 page regulations on how high to cut the grass and if birds fart.
Facts are facts. Our younger generations are being fucked into oblivion and carrying the golden geese into the retirement Homes.
It’s a bit more troubling than just who is paying what. Soon enough there is no one left to pay for shit because you can’t have a rapidly declining populous. That’s the strongest indicator for a failed society. So I’m saying … let’s address the biggest issue of them all… younger people getting reamed and impossible to succeed (for the majority)
Importing poor and uneducated from all over the world will do nothing to fix it
We do ok, made mostly good decisions along the way, and money wise kid was a struggle at 36 pre 2020 inflation spike.
We do REALLY well now. I might have 2 paid off cars, but they are both 10+ years old. Wifes is 8. I do a lot of shit myself that eats people up of lesser skills. We have rental income, and without that things would be A LOT tighter in our house.
